Is photobucket suddenly not free anymore?
Is photobucket suddenly not free anymore?
All of a sudden today my siggy pic was gone and there is a message from photobucket saying I have to pay to be able to use them to post pictures. Anyone else have this happen?
Re: Is photobucket suddenly not free anymore?
Not sure what the issue is with your siggy. I use photo bucket and my siggy picture is showing just fine.
Hugs,

Photobucket has only a certain amount of memory you can use. Perhaps you've used it up? Try re-uploading your picture and see if that helps, too. Photobucket is such a massive pain... yet I still use it myself. I've just gotten used to all of it's annoying flaws.

You have to sign up for the Plus500 plan now for $39.99 a month to get third-party hosting. Too expensive!!

I think Photobucket allows a certain amount of third-party hosting and when you've reached the max it no longer works.

Just looked, mine is on 75%, so when it gets to 100% it won't work? Can you still see your pictures Valerie-Anne?

I was on the free PB and my pics aren't showing up....I've only used up about 25% too so it doesn't make sense

Oh no. Lately, my pics are blurry on PB. Siggy is still showing. When I got close to full, I started using hubby's PB account. Terrible photo quality and soooo slow.

Oh, yes, you may want to back up those pictures since they are priceless. So sorry that you've lost your husband. I'm sure you continue to miss him very much.Lovestoknit Jane wrote:~Valerie~Anne~ wrote:I can still see my pictures on Photobucket, just can post them to other sites like Doll-Fan.

Re: Is photobucket suddenly not free anymore?
I got the same message & my album has LOADS of space. It said if I paid a fee per year I could use it for third party posting. i don't post photos often enough for that charge. I can see if I was selling on Ebay or something. Want to check & see if there might be another way to go. I've tried to put the images on here, but it says they are too large to post.

I don't use photobucket anymore. I just upload my pictures to my computer and it's very easy to download them here to DF. At the bottom of a post just click on full editor and preview then attachments and then click on the add files. Works great for me!
Barby when I have problems with the size I just resize my pic. smaller until it fits.
I also us my computer to download on ebay. I hate PB. It got to be such a pain!

The only third party hosting I have used is my siggy picture on DF, absolutely nothing else, just 1 picture on 1 site.~Valerie~Anne~ wrote:I think Photobucket allows a certain amount of third-party hosting and when you've reached the max it no longer works.
